Fried cheesecakes with a delicate creamy mass inside and a golden brown crust on the outside is loved by everyone. However, this is a classic that was fed to us in kindergarten, school, and catering canteens. Nowadays, they try to diversify this dish somehow, giving it different tastes. Most often, cheese cakes are complemented with raisins, which is also a traditional classic. However, you can expand your culinary talents and use the most unexpected products for the filling, such as raspberries, chocolate, coconut, apricots, nuts, plums, apples, pears, prunes, carrots, zucchini, etc. The list is endless. But today I want to tell you a rather unusual recipe for syrniki with pumpkin, orange and bran. This combination of products gives an amazing result that will satisfy everyone.
In such a dish, you can wonderfully disguise the taste of pumpkin, which for some reason children do not really like. Due to the orange, citrus notes will prevail in the cheese pancakes, which, unlike the bright orange fruit, are loved by all the kids. I also note that if for some reason you cannot eat fried, then you can bake cheese cakes in the oven. It is advisable to serve such a delicacy in the morning. After all, it is always a pleasure to start the day with a delicious, aromatic and vitamin-enriched breakfast, which is full of a double portion of nutrients.
